The genome of the stress-tolerant wild tomato species Solanum pennellii
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-09)Solanum pennellii is a wild tomato species endemic to Andean regions in South America, where it has evolved to thrive in arid habitats. Because of its extreme stress tolerance and unusual morphology, it is an important ... -
The Gln15Arg mutation in the transcriptional factor PALM1 produces multifoliate alfalfa
(Springer, 2022-12)The CRISPR/Cas9 system has proven to be highly valuable for genome editing in several important crops, including the allogamous tetraploid cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa). However, the fact that most of the beneficial ... -
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein repertoire of Babesia bovis and its significance for erythrocyte invasion
(2014-04)Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins are abundant on the surface of pathogenic protozoans and might play an important role for parasite survival. In the present work, the relevance of GPI-anchored proteins for ... -
The heart microbiome of insectivorous bats from Central and South Eastern Europe
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Host associated microbiome not only may affect the individual health-status or provide insights into the species- or group specific bacterial communities but may act as early warning signs in the assessment of zoonotic ... -
The key to egress? Babesia bovis perforin-like protein 1 (PLP1) with hemolytic capacity is required for blood stage replication and is involved in the exit of the parasite from the host cell
(Elsevier, 2021-07)Bovine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by apicomplexan parasites of the Babesia genus that represents a major constraint to livestock production worldwide. Currently available vaccines are based on live parasites ... -
The MVA vector expressing the F protein of bovine respiratory syncytial virus is immunogenic in systemic and mucosal immunization routes = El vector viral MVA que expresa la proteína F del virus respiratorio sincicial bovino es inmunogénico al administrarse por vía sistémica y por mucosas
(Elsevier, 2023-12)Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) affects both beef and dairy cattle, reaching morbidity and mortality rates of 60---80% and 20%, respectively. The aim of this study was to obtain a recombinant MVA expressing the ... -
The origin and genetic diversity of the causal agent of Asian soybean rust, Phakopsora pachyrhizi, in South America
(Wiley, 2015-06)A sequence‐based approach was used to investigate molecular genetic variations in Phakopsora pachyrhizi, an obligate biotrophic pathogen that causes Asian soybean rust. In Argentina, the samples came from uredinium‐bearing ... -
The P0 protein encoded by cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) inhibits local but not systemic RNA silencing
(2014-02)Plants employ RNA silencing as a natural defense mechanism against viruses. As a counter-defense, viruses encode silencing suppressor proteins (SSPs) that suppress RNA silencing. Most, but not all, the P0 proteins encoded ... -
The pest kill rate of thirteen natural enemies as aggregate evaluation criterion of their biological control potential of Tuta absoluta
(Springer, 2021-05-24)Ecologists study how populations are regulated, while scientists studying biological pest control apply population regulation processes to reduce numbers of harmful organisms: an organism (a natural enemy) is used to reduce ... -
The Piroplasmida Babesia, Cytauxzoon, and Theileria in farm and companion animals : species compilation, molecular phylogeny, and evolutionary insights
(Springer, 2022-05)The order Piroplasmida, including the genera Babesia, Cytauxzoon, and Theileria is often referred to as piroplasmids and comprises of dixenous hemoprotozoans transmitted by ticks to a mammalian or avian host. Although ... -
The repertoire of serine rhomboid proteases of piroplasmids of importance to animal and human health
(Elsevier, 2021-05)Babesia, Theileria and Cytauxzoon are tick-borne apicomplexan protozoans of the order Piroplasmida, notorious for the diseases they cause in livestock, pets and humans. Host cell invasion is their Achilles heel, allowing ... -
The role of farm environment and management in shaping the gut microbiota of poultry
(Springer Nature, 2022-01)Gut microbiota of poultry assembles from environmental sources mainly determined by farm management decisions such as feed composition, litter handling and sanitation practices, or the use of different feed additives. In ... -
The role of glucose in the pathology of EHEC O157: H7
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-04)The pathogen enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157: H7 is responsible for hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans [1]. During the colonization process in the gastrointestinal tract, EHEC needs ... -
The role of viral particle integrity in the serological assessment of foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccine-induced immunity in swine
(Plos One, 2020-05)The efficacy of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) inactivated vaccines is mainly dependent on the integrity of the whole (146S) viral particles. If the intact capsids disassemble to 12S subunits, antibodies against ... -
